Dear clients,
Earlier this year, rising fuel costs forced us to introduce a temporary fuel surcharge. When conditions allowed, we discontinued it because we never want to pass along additional costs unless absolutely necessary.
Unfortunately, gasoline prices have risen sharply again. When we made our original announcement in March, regular gasoline in Fresno averaged approximately $5.16 per gallon. Today, it is approximately $5.98 per gallon—nearly 16% higher than it was then.
Because our mobile grooming service depends entirely on traveling safely to each client’s home, these continuing fuel costs directly affect our ability to serve our community.
Therefore, beginning Monday, September 21, we will reinstate the 25% temporary fuel surcharge on our mileage charge. It will appear as a separate line item on your invoice and will not increase the price of your pet’s grooming services.
We understand that no one welcomes an additional charge, and we did not make this decision lightly. We will continue monitoring fuel prices and will remove the surcharge again as soon as conditions reasonably allow.
Thank you for your understanding, loyalty, and continued support of our small business and team. 💙🐾
The Fresno Pet Pamper Team
